SIGSPATIAL

This report presents the development and finalization of the 30th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2022), which was held in Seattle, Washington, USA, November 1--4, 2022.

This report summarizes the focus of the 5^th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Advances in Resilient and Intelligent Cities (ARIC 2022 - https://urbands.github.io/ARIC2022/) that was held in-person in Seattle, Washington on November 1, 2022. The ...

The 15th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science (IWCTS 2022) is particularly timely given the prominence of human mobility data, such as probe data from cell phones and connected automated vehicles, volunteered geographic ...

The amount of publicly available geo-referenced data has seen a dramatic explosion over the past few years. Human activities generate data and traces that are now often transparently annotated with location and contextual information. At the same time, ...

Emerging advances in artificial intelligence, hardware accelerators, and big data processing architectures continue to reach the geospatial information sciences, with a transformative impact on many societal challenges. Recent breakthroughs in deep ...

The field of Geospatial Humanities addresses the use of geographic information systems and other spatial technologies in humanities research, looking to address questions related to space and place. The field is constantly evolving, and currently it is ...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers in the SIGSPATIAL community have utilized computational solutions to better explain, predict, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. Using spatial computing for pandemic preparedness has also ...

The study of animal and human movement has experienced a remarkable boom over the last decades, mainly due to the continuous development of location-aware sensors (e.g. bio-logging devices for animals; GPS trackers for humans) capable of capturing ...

The topic of knowledge graphs (KGs) has recently attracted extensive attention in both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are a new paradigm for representing, retrieving, integrating, and reasoning data from highly heterogeneous and multimodal ...

Geospatial simulation is an effective tool to experience physical and/or cyber space (e.g., metaverse). New experiences gained from geospatial simulations can bring significant benefits including situation awareness, insight into environments, and ...

Analysis and management of big data are important areas of research for data researchers and scientists. Both the industry and governmental agencies have invested tremendous resources and effort in the area of big data analysis and management in the ...

Researchers and practitioners working with spatial data often develop fundamental new techniques they would like to share with their community. These are not necessarily new research results, not yet in any textbook, but they are interesting, self-...

Today, many top conferences in computer science hold workshops and social events to promote women's role in their field. One of the events is Women in Machine Learning (WiML) Workshop, co-located with NeurIPS '19 [1]. Their mission is to "create ...

The 11^th SIGSPATIAL Cup competition, GISCUP 2022, was held in conjunction with the 30^th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2022), and focused on extraction of building footprints from ...
